iPad 3 Rumors Roundup: From Features to Price (What We Know So Far) (PHOTOS)

This rumor is logical, but we’re putting it about a 50% chance of being on the iPad 3. That’s because it’s really great for finding things while on the go. While the iPad is quite portable, it’s not as portable as an iPhone, so this feature will likely wait for the next iPhone when it would be much further along in its development. Photo: Reuters

The inclusion of a 4G LTE antenna in the new iPad is more credible than most of the other rumors. We give it about a 75% chance of being included. iPad 3 would have to have a bigger battery to support such an addition, and 4G is a premium feature U.S. carriers would fully support as well. Additionally, 4G is the kind of thing business people need, and that is a group of potential customers Apple would like to attract. Photo: Reuters

Apple will make a big announcement March 7 in San Francisco, and we're certain it will be a new iPad. Besides that, it's all rumors. Here's what we know so far. From a suspected iPad Mini (a seven-inch tablet) to a new display going from edge to edge on the screen, there's plenty of speculation about what iPad 3 will look like. In fact, the latest rumor is it will be iPad HD instead of iPad 3 or iPad 2S. So there isn't much we know, but it isn't for lack of trying. Entire Web sites are set up to comb Chinese language blogs and media to find any hint of a leak from one of Apple's parts suppliers.

Furthermore, all manner of industry analysts and financiers are consulted to find out how much they're willing to divulge about Apple's latest piece of high-tech. While the most credible rumors are Apple will include a high resolution display and new operating system update, the rest range from unlikely to not a chance. We've found a dozen or so rumors for our readers to rummage through, and while some sound reasonable, there are just as reasonable, um, reasons for Apple not to include them. Start the slideshow to see what we know so far. Let us know in the comments if you've reached pre-launch rumor saturation yet or if you've been purposely not paying attention in order to avoid the deluge.
